Creating the Constitution Make Changes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

We Need a Convention What are some of the problems facing the new nation? No national trade laws (state currencies) Shays Rebellion (difficulty gathering national militia) To make changes nation needed to amend the Articles of Confederation.

The members of the Convention 55 delegates showed up for the Constitutional Convention (Philly) James Madison: one of the most prepared delegates. (Read more that 100 book on government) No diversity at the convention

Delegates ASSEMBLE!!!!!! Who was going to be president over the convention? Secrecy must be maintained

Virginia Plan May 29, 1787 design a new national government. Virginia Plan: recognized by Edmund Randolph proposed a govt. with three branches. Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary Big states favored this, why?

New Jersey Plan and The Great Compromise June 15, 1787 New Jersey Plan New Jersey Plan: drafted by William Paterson, Legislature with only one house. Each state would have 1 vote Voting for these plans on June 19, 1787 Great Compromise: set up the senate and house of representatives that exist today.

Slavery and the Constitution Who is counted in populations for states representatives? Which states wanted slaves counted in population? Three-Fifths Compromise: three-fifths of the slave population would be counted when setting direct taxes on the states

Ratifying the Constitution

Federalists and Antifederalists What is ratification? Federalism: is a system of government in which power is shared between the central (or federal) government and the states

Federalists and Antifederalists continued… Federalists: People who supported the constitution. Antifederalists: Thought the Constitution took to much power away from the states and did not guarantee rights for the people. Both groups made pamphlets and headlines in newspapers to spread the word.

The Federalists Papers The Federalists Papers: These essays first appeared as letters in New York Newspapers. Why should people support ratification.

Main differences between the two Federalists Antifederalists Supported removing some powers from the states and giving more powers to the national government Wanted important political powers to remain with the states Favored dividing powers among different branches of government Wanted the legislative branch to have more power than the executive Proposed a single person to lead the executive branch Feared that a strong executive might become a king or tyrant Believed a bill of rights needed to be added to the Constitution to protect people’s rights.

Battle for Ratification December 1787, Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania January 1788, Georgia and Connecticut By 1790, all states had ratified the constitution

Bill of Rights States that ratified the Constitution, asked that it be amended to include a bill of rights Bill of Rights: The first ten amendments to the constitution became known as the bill of rights.
